Excellent thanks very much. Made a couple as well, it would ha be helped if I watched the videos first Picked up a couple of tips which will help a lot. Thanks again Larry NZ
Thank you very much Markz, I will be using this in my Ag. Mech 2 Class on how to bend metal with a 14-16 ga using a rosebush. Thank you for the great idea!
We started cutting these for the students on Friday. It was an instant moral booster, not only getting to do something different in the shop but getting to make a Christmas gift for free when they they are broke. We are recycling some metal shelving that was put by my scrap box so all we really have into it is the consumables and the stems that I'll donate myself. Thanks again for sharing! You gave to about 30 ppl that would have otherwise never seen this web site. Mary Christmas and Happy Holidays! I did have to break the pieces out as the cuts never seemed to completely tie into each other, but that is most likely on my end.
My apologies, looks like I set up that file to be an Online tool path. Just checked it and worked out perfect as an Online tool path.
